Note that section 1.2.1 of the 299 spec says:

"In the Java EE 6 environment, all component classes supporting
injection, as defined by the Java EE 6 platform specification, may
inject beans via the dependency injection service."

Also see the section 5.6 preamble, which is even more explicit.

So, yes, there is a conflict. The EE spec mentions a limitation which
299 says explicitly does not exist :-)
